This has to be the most useless staff in the game seeing as i cant be a monk.necro/mes primary and only having divine with ANY skills that the mods could affect. and being a monk, im not really attacking so i dont need a staff wrapping of pruning
It's even worse than it looks at first. Not only is it linked to 3 different primary attributes, there are no soul reaping skills, and there's only one fast casting skill, which is elite.

And here I thought this one was bad.

Though I'm sure there's a Wa/Mo out there who would find it absolutely godly.

There was a focus with those stats from a quest... quite hillarious. I remember getting it and being a bit confused with the logic of making such an item...

I dont know whether to give it to the Scroll that has -2 energy for +4 armor, or the sword that has -2 health degen, 2 lifesteal on hit, and +7 vs melee.

I always love getting items that have good mods with horrible dmg. Like my Longbow: It was something like this:
BLUE Zealous Longbow of Fortitude
5-11 dmg (like..2 req)
Energy on hit: 1
-1 energy degen
+24 (or 25?) health.

Yep..I got 2 Wood Planks for salvaging that baby.

One and Two : You can get it for yourself .. get some char carving, and go to the collector just outside Nolani.
He has 3 different wands, if he has the wrong one, simply go back into nolani and leave again. They all have +5 energy though.

And for my contribution .. i will match gou .. this lovely focus.

I found one of those. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
Yesterday in Grenths I found a non-max battlepick with -5 armor while attacking, nothing else; it was actually worse than a non-max white item, and ties with the offhand for the title of "worst item I've ever found".

Too bad I didn't keep the offhand item; it'd make a great combo with that battlepick, wouldn't it?


EDIT: Damn, gou's axe is even worse than my battlepick! It'd make a great combo with cagans storm artifact, though!

That's actually a rare PvP focus only available in pre-sear. I'll buy as many as you have at 10k each, assuming you haven't thrown them away.

The other focus you see in my photo is the -50hp focus from the city of ascalon quest post sear.

It can be useful it you get yourself caught with 1-2 energy and a bunch of spells on you (wither, for example), that have your energy regeneration pinned at 0. That's about all I can think of.

Any idea where you get these pre-sear? I've got a character coming through there now and if they're a collectors' item or something, I'll pick some up.

Are you serious about the 10k offer? I've sold several of these to the merchant lately.

The -2 energy focus's can be found ... anywhere in presear really.
Kill a lot of skale just outisde ascalon, and id any energy 2-3 focus's that they drop.
I only kept the 1 that i found, and will keep it i think, part of the collection, but yeh, farm skales a bit, and you'll find them eventually.

Seems to have been updated a little...

Geesh, 4-7 base damage to start with, and only does 81% of that. But, you deal that 3-6 fire damage 10% faster! Yay!


Oh, and here's my submission (no flames please, just for shats and giggles):

The thing you have to realize is that by equipping that focus you don't actually lose any energy. If you swap out that focus for a normal +12 energy one, you'll immediately gain +14 energy. All you're really doing by swapping foci around is manipulating your max and current energy to be wherever you want it to be. This focus is the only offhand tool for manipulating your energy total downward.

Applications include hiding energy from energy debil builds, 'swapping down' to take off Wither or Malaise, lowering your max energy for when you use 'lose all energy' skills, swapping to a low energy set so that you res with more energy. It's not critical by any stretch but it's a nice little tool for some advanced plays.

They're not collector's items, just world drops from some of the monsters there. You can get them from farming River Skales or Ice Golems - maybe some other mobs as well but those are the ones I know drop them. It's not a common drop by any stretch of the imagination.

Yep. I don't want to spend my time trying to farm pre-searing for one of these when I can be PvPing or farming something more profitable, so if someone is lucky enough to get one in pre-sear I'll throw money at 'em.

I've never seen stats like that before on an offhand. Quite odd.

I'm pretty sure there's a scroll like that you can get from a quest in Ascalon, only with less energy and not rare. Still seems rather pointless though, either just make it say "Health +5" or remove one of the mods so it isn't useless.
